Midvale Elementary

While the biggest prize of all for great attendance is the learning and growth that happens for students, these students also earned other amazing prizes for making sure they were in school, on time, every day. A new scooter? Yes, please!

With a community-wide focus on ensuring that students are attending and participating in school, we hope to create a culture of showing up, lifting each other up, and making every school day count! Join us in celebrating these attendance champions! 👏👏👏

It's amazing how a new haircut can make you feel! Our community barbers were back again for two Tuesdays in May to provide free haircuts to kids whose parents signed them up! Steve, Edwin, Alysia, and Violet donated their services and provided at least 70 haircuts, along with lots of high fives and some good music! Even Maestro Hernandez took advantage of the opportunity during his lunch break to try out a new fade. A big thanks goes out to our community barbers for supporting our kids and familiies (and teachers!)!

On a Friday in April, Midvale Elementary received some very special visitors. We hosted volunteers from Risen Life Church and the Send Relief North American Mission Board who chose our school to support this year! Their projects included:
-Provided and set up a picnic table in a front courtyard for staff to enjoy the outdoors during their lunch breaks.
-Moved our Family Learning Center and set up a new Family Resource Center with shelving, clothing, food, and more.
-Provided a welcome sign in many world languages.
-Provided items for a staff wellness room.
-Provided portable sensory pathways for students to use.
-Fixed and re-painted our ga-ga ball pits.

We are so grateful to our community for supporting our staff, students, families, and school!
